Escape to the Emerald Coast for a well-deserved vacation and enjoy incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico from your private, furnished balcony. Stroll across the attached boardwalks to the adjacent beach for days of fun in the sun, stay close to home and take a dip in the heated pool, or work up a sweat in the on-site fitness center. There's a little something for everyone here at this sparkling, Sterling Sands condo.

You'll find a number of opportunities for fun at places like the Track where you can hop in a go-kart, play mini-golf, or brave the SkyFlyer, all right across the street. Race down some incredible water slides at Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park, less than a mile west. Or visit Henderson Beach State Park, a mile-and-a-half east, where you can hike the nature trail, do a little fishing, or relax on the warm sands.

Everything was perfect for me, only the balcony chairs were very old and I didn't like them to take some photos on the beautiful balcony.

Dated property but great beach views!

Property needs new mattresses and couches. Honestly everything need a little TLC. However, it is right on the beach and the pool and hot tub are wonderful.

Beautiful Beach Paradise

Look no further than this lovely, immaculately clean, beautifully updated 2 BR/2BA 8th floor oceanfront paradise! The most gorgeous, orange sunsets await you from your private balcony as you listen to the wonderful waves and look out onto the gorgeous, emerald/ blue green ocean! Enjoy the wonderful, sparkling clean jacuzzi in the MBR or the beautiful stone shower! Do bring some paper liners for your fresh pot of coffee in the morning! The location can’t be beat as you can walk on the beach to a fabulous meal at the famous Back Porch restaurant or enjoy your own fully stocked kitchen and prepare your meals and dine oceanfront without even having to leave your private oasis!

Gulf view

I can’t say enough about the view. The condo was clean and the service was great. Now my negatives, The furniture was very outdated and uncomfortable. Throw pillows everywhere. The bed was horrible. A screen of some sort on the patio would have been a great addition to hear the ocean while reading, dining, napping etc. The patio furniture was cheap plastic. 3 mix match chairs and a table. The safety glass looking from the balcony to the beach was obscured by neglect. It needed a good cleaning. If you drive anything bigger the a small sedan, plan on parking outside. We pulled into our assigned spot and couldn’t get the doors open. We paid 2300.00 for a week. Great view, we will go to destin again but not stay at this resort.

Gorgeous, Spacious Condo

Wow! This place was really impressive. The Master bedroom, closet, and bathroom were HUGE. We had a wonderful family vacation and thought it worth every penny. On top of that, everyone we encountered in the elevators, at the beach, etc were all so friendly. Sterling Sands is a 10 out of 10!!

Unfulfilled Potential

Location, size and of the building our unit was all that we were looking for. The view from this eighth floor unit was beautiful. The unit was absolutely spotless, but could have been better maintained. The check-in process was very smooth from the property management standpoint. However, getting the parking pass and pool access wristbands from the HOA was a bit of a pain in the backside. The HOA also changed the pool / beach code without notifying the rental property manager, who had given us the old code. That was not the property manager’s fault. As much as we liked the unit the horrible mattresses on all beds were painful to sleep on an definitely hurt the overall score on this unit. The sofas were also very uncomfortable. Last little issue dealt with the lack of good pans and a slow cooker in the kitchen which we have come to expect from units in this price range. This unit is three mattresses, one sofa, one love seat, better balcony furniture, more comfortable dining chairs and better kitchen ware away from a solid 5 star rating. Sad to see such unfulfilled potential.

Second stay @Sterling Sands

Condo was exceptionally clean and check in and out was super easy. The air quit the first night we were there and they offered to have someone come out and look at it at 11pm! I can’t say enough good about our experience here!

COVID was the only issue

Despite the closing of all in-dining restaurants and bars, this was a great condo and a superb location. The beach was great expect that it was forced to close. We'd definitely go back under more ideal circumstances.
